"I suppose it is useless to ask you to be fair to Sara Gooch, as you choose to call me."
Then, as he proved unmanageable and would not leave his patient, neither would she leave him, and through the frightful night that ensued, there was quite employment enough for them both.

Push me over a receipt." "Let me out." "Anon, gossip, anon. Shakespeare. First, the receipt." Mr. Gooch scribbled a few words in his notebook and tore out the page. Psmith thanked him. "I will see that it reaches Comrade Spaghetti," he said. "And now to a more important matter. Don't put away that notebook. Turn to a clean page, moisten your pencil, and write as follows.

Our next-door neighbour had a kennel of homesick, discontented, and sleepless puppies of various breeds, that were in the habit of howling all night until Mrs. Bobby expostulated with Mrs. Gooch in my behalf.
